Stress and Tension

Sometimes you just need a break from it all....you both want to be married, and clearly care for each other..

why not plan a very low key but lovely date for the two of you and ban the wedding talk for a while....a picnic with marmite sarnies.....a dvd date with popcorn...something silly and fun, just to step away from it all....

have some fun together xx

Perfect!!! I think this is just what we need....I filled up a little reading your post! I do think the wedding has dominated in our house recently (and maybe I'm responsible for a lot of that!). Some time out from the wedding and some quality time together is perhaps what's needed xx

Sorry to hear of your troubles & feel free to rant away on here - we've all done it! if you don't mind me asking, how terribly deep in financial trouble are you? If it's a lot & it will be a struggle, I would suggest maybe looking at deferring it? Or, can you look into borrowing money off family to tide you over?

Regarding excitement & buzz of wedding planning, lots of guys don't get that - mind definitely didn't - luckily I had joined on here so I got all my excitement off all these lovely hitchers!

Aww sorry to hear you're feeling the pressure, I love soon to be MrsG's idea though - it will give you a chance to stop thinking about the wedding and spend some time together. Planning a wedding and trying to save can be stressful enough but to add relocating, moving and changing jobs into the mix no wonder you guys are under pressure!! If you know you can get the money together in time, just keep that in mind and try not to let it stress you too much, if you're really not sure if you can - is there anything you can cut/reduce to give you a bit of breathing space?

I'd agree that a date night sounds like what you both need, a little night with no wedding talk or stress. Maybe a nice meal and some wine and remember why you both got together and why you're getting married and what even matters, certainly isn't money
Men don't deal with stress very well I don't think..mine certainly doesn't anyway, and it can build up and become too much.
If you can both definitely manage then that's ok and just try having breaks away from it every so often but if its worry that you won't manage, as someone suggested you could maybe borrow from a family member or something? No point worrying and stressing over what should be an exciting time I'm sure a date night and a good chat will sort it out hopefully
